Just had to preserve my fav performance from this year's olympic rhythm dances! Lopareva/Brissaud (France)
What I've been reading in the first quarter of 2026:
Making this quarterly instead of monthly hasn't been on purpose, but after I forgot to do it entirely for January and then I was already halfway through March I figured I could just do it quarterly instead of doing Jan+Feb late... Now that I clicked myself through a truly unholy amount of ao3 history pages in one go, I kinda regret that choice xDxD though, to be honest March was the main offender with over 100 pages of heated rivalry fics... I've just been reading a Lot of shortfics, and also clicking & bookmarking a lot of fics to #ToRead later (which I've then had to go through now too to subtract from the total wordcount...)
I've read 10,946,538 words in fanfic Jan-Mar 2026!
ca 3mil in January, 2.8mil in February, and over 5mil of pretty much exclusively Hollanov fic in March!
I've also started reading two books:
They're both my Frühstückslektüre atm (still trying to keep breakfast time screen free for me, been a bit challenging with the Heated Rivalry obsession though ngl), the first one's on a pretty heavy topic and I can't always read too much on it in the morning, so then I switch to the twilight analysis which is a super fun read! I definitely recommend both books :)

In January I read 278 fics, a pretty even mix of Poirot, The Witcher (AWAU) and Star Wars, with some Good Omens, Holby City, Leverage, Marvel, Miss Fisher, Pride and Prejudice, Thursday Murder Club, White Collar, Warehouse 13 and Yoko Tsuno thrown in :) some of those like Marvel and TMC were probably just from looking for podfic inspo for a gift exchange though.
388 fics in February - I only started reading Heated Rivalry fics on the 17th and yet they make up the bulk of that xD there's also still a lot of Star Wars in there though, some Warehouse 13, HP, Holby City Berena, Star Trek, White Collar, and a bunch of random fandoms that I don't even know but that were recorded at the europodfriends podfic convention I went to :)
In March I read 1237 fics - 40 per day?!? That seems excessive even for me. But well Hollanov fandom churns out lots of shortfics and for some reason I'm not seeking out only longfics the way I tend to do for example in Star Wars... I guess the shippier fandoms mean I don't need plot heavy longfics if it's all kitsch anyways xD and yeah uh. Excluding crossovers with heated rivalry / game changers? I really only read 1 warehouse and 2 star wars fics, and listened to three other podfics people from the convention I went to in February recorded... the rest is all Hollanov!
We'll see whether April will be more femslash heavy with me getting back into Avorah now that s5 of Hacks is starting!

I'm going to be real with y'all's here, this was already too much work and while I love my little lists and stats, I've run out of steam so no specific rec lists this time, but you can find all of the bookmarks I've marked as recommendations on Ao3 for January, February and March and filter for the fandoms I've mentioned above if you're looking for reading material :)

last song: no idea, whatever was on the radio before I turned it off during ad break... Though I can report that my Lily Allen obsession has waned somewhat so when I'm listening to playlists I'm now listening to the New Moon soundtrack instead of West End Girl on repeat! xD I'm especially fond of Sattelite Heart by Anya Marina.
